raised ribs, and the leaves are much like those of T. cacao, 

 but more cordate at the base. The fruit of T. sylvestris. 

 from a Plate by the same author is small, smooth, yet still 

 showing the five divisions of the pod by slight depressions 

 or lines on the outside at equal distances from each other. 

 The leaves are small and suggestive of the ordinary form 

 borne by " CrioUo." The pod of T. bicolor, Humboldt, is 

 woody in texture, hard and dry, and specimens can be kept 

 for any length of time. There is a specimen, collected in 

 Veragua in 1885, in the Herbarium of the Botanical 

 Department of Trinidad, and also specimens of the leaves 

 and flowers, and these have since been supplemented by 

 specimens grown in the gardens where it is established.
